Existing law sets forth procedures under which the court is authorized to declare forfeited the undertaking of bail or the money or property deposited as bail if, without sufficient excuse, a defendant fails to appear for certain proceedings. Existing law requires the district attorney, county counsel, or applicable prosecuting agency to recover, out of the forfeited bail money, the costs incurred in successfully opposing a motion to vacate the forfeiture prior to the division of the forfeited bail money between the cities and counties in accordance with specified provisions. This bill would require the district attorney, county counsel, or applicable prosecuting agency to, in addition, recover attorney's fees out of the forfeited bail money.
